Ouch.

I was wondering how long before this state lit off. Hope they get it contained quickly.

Not a fun day to be fighting any kind of Fire...

I was fighting fire yesterday, it sucked, at least 60 degrees hotter in bunker gear.

You can say that again. I have had 4 second alarm fires in the last two weeks, and a handful of smaller ones. UGH. Hopefully today and tomorrow stay quiet.

What part of the park? Live stream looks like a very remote section.

EDIT: Grass fire way in the back of the park. Not near any attractions. In fact, the grass area is not even listed on the map.

I'd be afraid to knock on wood given as dry as it is. The friction could blow the whole place up!

Think the final estimation was 27-28 acres or so.

Heard from the news chopper guy that this was the area of an older campground area. At least I think that's what I heard.

Yes, an old campground, that has been closed, and overgrown for years. The forest appears to have been unharmed.

Shoulda let it burn. Or at least carry and ember over to my rental unit and place it on the roof.

The only thing that got heated here last night was the amount of Beer and Whisky that was tossed down...

We put down some beer but it was "Ice Cold" out of the cooler.
